Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve

Leashed dogs are welcome at Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve, one of the last stretches of undeveloped bluff land along the Lake Michigan shoreline, from Mequon up to Port Washington. Enjoy tremendous views along a 1/2 mile of 90- to 100-foot bluffs that look out onto Lake Michigan. Stroll across bridges over the gorge or down the gorge stairways to walk along the Lake Michigan shoreline. This 73-acre park offers plenty of hiking trails, boardwalks through the wetlands, picnic areas and restrooms. Visit Website

    Beautiful park

    The lakeshore loop has pretty views. After they re-did the parking there is now plenty of parking, seasonal bathrooms and picnic areas. Dogs are supposed to be on leashes, however I have encountered some pretty rude locals who are just upset they see a dog.

    The views are great.

    It is people friendly and pet friendly. There are stairs going down to the rocky beach area but very nice overall.
